Class action filed against Boone County
Board and County Treasurer Wallace Ramsay
claims Boone County Board members broke the law and he wants to do something
about it. A class action lawsuit has been filed against the board and
treasurer, Carolynn Knox, alleging the 2005 and 2006 budgets were approved
in violation of Illinois law. The lawsuit claims the County Board held seven
illegal special meetings over the past two years and therefore the approval
of the budgets is null and void. The complaint asks for declaratory relief,
seeking property tax refunds for Boone County residents. The Illinois
Compiled Statute 55ILCS 5/2-1002 notes "Special meetings of the Board shall
be held only when requested by at least one-third of the members of the
board...which request shall be in writing, addressed to the clerk of the
board, and specifying the time and place of such meeting..."
